Overtime (or Overdued?)

No, I'm not talking about doing overtime in the office. Back when I'm much younger I used to put in extras, both after office hours and during the weekends. Now, I've learned to slow down and put things in proper perspectives (work, after all, isn't everything).
.
I'm reminded of a Japanese TV serial titled Overtime whenever I see the Tokyo Tower (see inset picture). I'll have to admit I can't remember the details, but the one thing that propped up quite prominently is this tower that is visible from the lead actress' bedroom window.
.
Granted, the Eiffel Tower in Paris is much older (built in 1889) and far more famous as a distinctive landmark, but it should in no way overshadow the architectural wonders of similar achievements in other lands.
.
We humans seem to have an obsession to build anything that can reach the skies and light up the night heavens. But how many of us, in turn, are willing to be that tower that'll light up the dark nights of a friend's heart?

Watashi wa yono hikari de aru. Watashi ni shitagau mono wa kurayami no naka wo aru kazu, inochi no hikari wo motsu. Go figure!

Subarashi, imouto-san! You really take the trouble to find out the meaning of that sentence, huh?

Yup, I'm quoting from John 8:12 where Jesus said, "I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."

Well done, my little sister!
